The liberal-left on its high horse

There are few things quite so emetic as the liberal-left on its high horse
Clip
Perhaps the least edifying aspect of the News of the World saga has been the sanctimonious fervour of the liberal-left wallowing in a stew of its own self-righteousness. We’ve had more than a whiff of this putrescent cant here at Telegraph blogs.

Two days ago my colleague David Hughes made the perfectly unexceptionable – and indeed true – point that the media campaign had been orchestrated to a frenzied pitch by the BBC and the Guardian, partly to have a go at David Cameron, partly to have a dig at their Murdoch nemesis. To read some of the comments below you’d think he’d called for the beatification of Uday Hussain.


The Telegraph's James Delingpole is here discussing the British liberal-left (actually, world liberal left) response to the the hacking cock-up that I scarcely know beans about because I could care less.  However, when it comes to sanctimonious religious outrage, not even whack Islamos can compete with the liberal-left.   What I see here then is a nice book-end template, with attribution of course,  that American bloggers can use to  frame our own weekly (daily) examples of twats-gone-wild..   You're welcome.
sanctimonious twats gone wild


  No one has a less deserving claim to the moral high ground than the liberal-left, for in the name of making our “society” kinder and fairer it is actually eroding our freedoms, stealing our livelihoods, stoking resentment and social division, destroying our economic future. Yet daily we go on letting these disingenuous bleeding heart scuzzballs get away with it. Why?

Because murder is illegal? Kim Du Toit once wrote a wonderful essay named "The Pussification Of The Western Male". It pretty much outlines the "why" of this siuation.

Kinda like Charlie Rangle's latest 'what would Jesus do?' about the US debt. All emotion and no logic.
